Description
The author of the passage is discussing the work of Issey Miyake, a Japanese fashion designer who has been able to move beyond the death and destruction at the center of his universe as a seven-year-old boy to bring beauty to the world through his creativity. Miyake's work is often conceptual and incorporates age-old Japanese traditions and craftsmanship with current technology, and he has been successful in the fashion world. His perfumes and colognes are flirtatious and innocent by turns, and his latest offering, L'Eau D'Issey Lotus, is designed to bring to mind morning dew accented with aquatic notes from lotus and white musk. Miyake's cologne for men combines the same adventurous spirit that made Issey Miyake perfume popular around the world with darker, more masculine top notes for a unique sense experience.
As a witness and survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945,
Issey Miyake has been able to move beyond the death and destruction at
the center of his universe as a seven-year-old boy to bring beauty to
the world through his creativity. Known for his conceptual work, much
of it incorporating age-old Japanese traditions and craftsmanship with
current technology, Miyake found success in the fashion world. He draws
his inspiration from art, architecture, and personal encounters, all
the while guided by an appreciation of the human silhouette set against
a natural backdrop.
The Miyake Design Studio, founded in 1970, has been a center for
innovation for the designer, producing high-end women's fashions and
perfecting new techniques and innovations that are used for his
creations. His education at the Tama Art University and time spent in
both Paris and New York have afforded him the necessary experience and
exposure to produce products that are distinctly unique, yet appealing
to the masses: Issey Miyake is the designer of the signature black
turtleneck worn by the late co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs.
With his first venture into perfume, L'Eau D'Issey, Miyake proved
himself to be a master at using scents to invoke emotion. A mix of
light floral notes such as peony and cyclamen overlaid on base notes of
cedar and amber, L'Eau D'Issey was a success and made Issey Miyake
perfume a household brand in the 1990s. Over the next 24 years, Miyake
proved his longevity, creating perfumes and colognes that are
flirtatious and innocent by turns, such as the exquisite and seductive
L'Eau D'Issey Reflets D'Une Goutte and the refreshing L'Eau D'Issey
Summer for women. His latest offering, L'Eau D'Issey Lotus, is designed
to bring to mind morning dew accented with aquatic notes from lotus and
white musk.
In 1994, Miyake expanded his fragrance line to Issey Miyake for men.
Issey Miyake cologne for men combines the same adventurous spirit that
made Issey Miyake perfume popular around the world with darker, more
masculine top notes for a unique sense experience. L'Eau D'Issey Pour
Homme, Miyake's flagship cologne for men, utilizes tobacco, nutmeg, and
musk for a rich composition that made Issey Miyake cologne just as
popular as his perfume. Issey Miyake men's fragrance creation continues
today with L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2014, a collection of tart
grapefruit and kiwi with cypress base notes.
Whether you are looking at Issey Miyake perfume or Issey Miyake
cologne, the brand promises unique scents and captivating combinations
of florals, woods, and spices designed to invoke memories of nature.
